We would like by using and teaching with fairy tales to promote the search for ancient cultural roots, which are common for all the people from the Balkans and we would liked encourage our children to read books.The final product- Travelling Book with Balkans fairy tales....and they lived happily ever after- fairy tales of Balkan countries

Balkan fairy tales give knowledge of our folklore culture. They are created by the lessons of the life and teach us to be clever, good, friendly, wise and honest. Their power brings us the spirit of the old generations. The world of the fairy tales is endless and a wonder, full with the habits and customs of Balkan people.

We survive as we smile! From the ancient time till now in the folklore of each Balkan nation there is a witty man!

The end of the fairy tales is always happy. Most of the characters go to unbelievable places or have magic power. These magic characters pass through difficult dangers, survive of the traps but finally the goodness wins. The good faith and nobleness are the winners.

The ancient Balkan people thought that the animals played a special role in their life. The animals kept the people from the dangers of the life .Thats the reason many of the animals to animate in the fairy tales. The animals speak, behave like people. For example: The Fox is greedy, cunning; The hedgehog is not so brave but is always clever, inventive; The Bear and the Wolf are clumsy and do stupid things due to their naive and greediness.

instead of finale

In my opinion, the age of the children and the fact that they cannot read should not be a problem for them to get familiarized with the fairy tales, to find their favorite character, to use that character as a model example and to learn a lesson from each tale.

Realizing and integrating projects and project activities into your curriculum would add not only to the personal enrichment and professional growth of each teacher, but help the children that participate in the projects.Valentina Marinova, Bulgaria
